Hello,

I am trying to squeeze the most performance out of my gaming rig and was curious if anyone had suggestions on what I should change in my Frequencies/Voltages:

Gigabyte 970 Gaming SLI Motherboard
AMD FX-6300 running 4.5Ghz @ 1.44v
HT= 2400 / NB=2200 @ 1.2v
2X 4GB 1600Mhz RAM @ 9-9-9-24

My temps are ~18 at idle and ~40 at full load

I know I can push further, but I seem to BSOD if I raise the NB to 2400, or the Cpu higher than 4.5

All power saving features are set to off.

Im wondering if this is memory related

For basic OC'ing, start by resetting everything back to default in BIOS. Like you had it before you started OC'ing. Then enter BIOS and disable turbo mode. Increase the CPU multiplier one click. Save and re-boot to Win. Stress test and watch temps. If all is good, repeat.
Eventually you will have an unstable test result. When that happens, bump up the vcore in as small an increment as the BIOS allows. Stress test again. If good, keep increasing the multi followed by more vcore when needed. Try to keep the vcore no higher than 1.5V.
For stress testing I have been using IBT at the default settings. So far, all is good doing it that way.

Hello!

I actually did just this, and I ended up with a Stable 6 Core 4.4Ghz clock

I have seen these chips go above 4.8Ghz, but I see that is a rarity without going over 1.48vcore

I will gladly live with my 4.4Ghz x6 at 1.42Vcore as a 24/7 Clock.

Passmark scored me 8300 CPU, Putting me above most Intel Processors
